The story chronicles the Bundren family as they traverse the Mississippi countryside to bring the body of their deceased mother Addie to her hometown for burial. Addie's husband Anse and their children, Cash, Darl, Jewel, Dewey Dell and the youngest Vardaman, leave the farm on a carriage with her coffin – each affected by Addie's death in a profound and different way. Their road trip to Jefferson, some forty miles away, is disrupted by every antagonistic force of nature or man: flooded rivers, injury and accident, a raging barn fire and, not least of all, each individual character's personal turmoil and inner commotion which at times threaten the fabric of the family more than any outside force.

• Based on the classic novel by William Faulkner

The Bling Ring shows a group of teenagers obsessed with fashion and fame who burgled the homes of celebrities in Los Angeles.

Tracking their targets’ whereabouts online, the teens would break-in and steal designer clothes and possessions. Reflecting on the naiveté of youth, amplified by today’s culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession, the members of the Bling Ring introduce us to temptations that nearly any teenager would find hard to resist. What starts out as youthful fun spins out of control and reveals a sobering view of our modern culture.

Discover the beautiful, alien world within us all.

Revealing the workings of the human body on a scale never seen before, this is the most comprehensive story yet of how our unique and amazing bodies make us who we are. Breathtaking CGI takes viewers inside the body to show how different parts of our anatomy have evolved and why.

Extraordinary scientific images of the body reveal its most unusual and bizarre workings in minute detail. Human behaviour is shown in super-slow motion, revealing elements of ourselves that we are completely unaware of, while footage of people around the world illustrates the universality of our experiences and how some can do amazing things, live in incredible places and push their physiology to the limits, all thanks to the highly evolved machine that makes we humans the world's most successful animal.
